COLBY MEN'S HOCKEY TOPS SALEM STATE, 5-1

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Colby College senior captain Patrick Walsh (Easton, Conn.) made his final regular season game at Alfond Arena a memorable one with three goals to lift the Mules to a 5-1 victory over Salem State on Saturday.

Walsh, an All-East and All-NESCAC defensemen last year, had two goals in the first period to help the Mules (14-6-1, 12-5 ECAC East/NESCAC) to a 3-0 lead.

Colby's five goals all came from seniors in their final regular season games. Jared Gordon (Bangor, Maine) tallied in the first period and Joel Morash (Liverpool, Nova Scotia) had a goal in the third period. Joe Rothwell (Unionville, Ontario) had assists on all three of Walsh's goals. Nick Bayley (Cambridge, Ontario) moved into a tie for third place on Colby's all-time scoring list with one assist Saturday. Bayley and Vin Paolucci '87 both have 145 career points.
